Chery South Africa will launch a new sub-brand in South Africa next year – Lepas.

The Chinese importer says the new marquee will “introduce a fresh perspective on what a premium sports-utility vehicle can be – elegant, expressive and tailored to a contemporary lifestyle”.

Lepas made its global debut in April with the L8.

Chery said at the time that the brand would be aimed at younger, style-conscious drivers seeking more than just mobility.

The car maker says Lepas will expand its offering across multiple segments to suit “everything from family life to executive living”.

The name Lepas blends the word ‘leap’ and ‘passion’.

The range looks set to include an entry-level electric vehicle, the L2.

Chery’s other sub-brands in the South African market include Omoda and Jaecoo.
